Bu davul dersimde çift kick davul çalımı için en temel egzersizleri anlatıyorum.
Bu videonun önemi geçiş egzersizleri olarak adlandırdığım egzersiz 2 ve egzersiz 3’ün mantığını anlamakta yatıyor. Bu 2 egzersiz bu konuda anahtar nokta niteliğinde ve bu alandaki gelişiminiz için önemli bir rol oynayacak.
Egzersiz 1 - 1. yarı
Egzersiz 2 - Sol ayağı güçlendirmek
Egzersiz 3 - Sol ayağa bir sonraki egzersizde çalacağı şeyin hissiyatını ve sesini öğretmek
Egzersiz 4 - 2. yarı
Eğer solak bir davulcuysanız egzersizleri tam tersi şekilde yapmalısınız.

Size of muscles mean nothing in drumming. Muscle Memory, however, very important, but not the same thing.

This is brilliant, I have been drumming for over 35 years and only just started into DB Kick. This is so handy

It was absolutely helpful that you said that "The left foot learns from the right foot", which is the concept I never thought of, yet very important. Thank you 👍

"One side of the body needs to teach the other one." I don't think I ever heard a better advice for drumming! Eline saglik, Almanya'dan selamlar!

[@tandrei2001]

thank you for these double base lessons. I have been coping with it for years and never veen able to make steady progresss. This seems to be a method that each drummer can adjust in terms of speed and technique. Back to the basics!

[@matthewgagne3391]

Having trouble with the offbeat stuff. I feel like I should be counting 1 E and Uh 2 E and Uh..... bass pedal playing the E and playing the Uh. Because he hits the ands during the onbeat excercises. This exercise is kicking my butt

[@ErceArslan]

Take it slowly.. and increase the tempo little by little. Than you will have no problem with it :)

[@user-ur4kv1yh7q]

That's awesome. I'm motivated. I `ll stick it！

This was an incredible video. I really thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with really understanding the dynamics of the double bass drumming. I look at some of the other videos and so far they also cover everything else I’ve been searching for.

Very nice video series, well explained and to the point, you got my like. Do you think is well suited for absolute beginners in drumming like me? I mean, I'm currently learning how to use 1 pedal so maybe is too much advanced, I have a double bass pedal but I'd like to learn following the correct path (if there's one)

[@gvader8573]

This video (lesson 1) demonstrates a lot of advanced foot technique and is basically useless for a beginner.

:D thank you very much:). In this video there is no extra muffler except evans mufflers inside the kick drums.

I bought some cheap Millenium bass pedals years ago but got around to actually starting to really get into double-bass - thanks for the video, going to give this a try. I find that when I try to do it, I start twitching my feet so I can get it as clean as you did at 200, but it sounds like a car engine piston about to blow out. Will start it off slow and gradually build the speed. Relative to what's actually being played, would you also recommend fills around the kit, to get my body more accustomed?

[@ErceArslan]

Thank you very much. Sorry for late reply. Of course! Fills are very important too. In this series there will be a separate part about the double bass fills.

[@The_Other_Ghost]

I remember the exact day I got to play a kit with two kicks.

[@ErceArslan]

Usually normal sports shoes, like running shoes with mid hard bottomed. You can check out my Lesson 20 - Drum Shoes for more information.

[@drakausdromgatti58]

My anterior talofibular ligament (very top of the foot that connects to the base of the shin) started burning/pinching pain. If I push on it with a finger it would burn like it did when I was playing. Now its starting to hurt even when im not playing (just sitting). Anyone ever deal with anything like this? If so... any advice? I reallllllly want to become great. I am practicing 1 to 3 hrs every day for the past six months.

[@ErceArslan]

They are tiny muscles and if you get a pain like this try not to push your shin muscles or that anterior talofibular ligament so much. Learn to use your upper legs, calves etc.. In conclusion what I am saying is don't try to use just 1 muscle groups of your body for 1 technique. Need side muscle groups for every technique.

[@drakausdromgatti58]

@@ErceArslan I appreciate the feed back brother. I want to become a great drummer so baddly I am really pushing my body. Developing carpal tunnel in my arms and shredding my foot ligaments. It's frustrating. I have to really start practicing some smarter techniques. I am trying to figure out swivel technique but it feels so awkward. Socks feels too slippery and shoes feel too sticky. I was thinking about getting wrestling shoes. I have watched your and James Paynes instructionals. For my hands I think push/pull is going to be the best option as well. If you have any more advice I am all ears. I really appreciate the feed back man. Thank you and you are a killer drummer.

How long the duration of each exercises do you recommend us doing it for?

[@ErceArslan]

These exercises are the first step to get into double bass drumming. You can do these as much as you can, frequently. If 'duration time' is involved to an exercise, then the topic changes to strength or endurance. You can check out my lesson 4 and 5 for this question.
